Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The form 990 is provided to the board at a monthly board meeting. However, no review will be conducted by the board prior to filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“Potential confilcts of interest are regularly reviewed by the executive director and board of directors at staff and board meetings. Any disclosures are documented in the meeting's minutes. A conflict of interest disclosure process has recently been implemented in which staff and board members must make a written declaration that they are disclosing any actual or potential conflicts of interest, and that they will further disclose any conflicts of interest that occur during the year.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The board evaluates the executive director's performance annually, compares local salaries to organizations of similar budget size via those organizations' 990s, and determined budget availability to arrive at the executive directors yearly compensation with these actions documented in the minutes from the board of directors. Employees' supervisors conduct an annual performance evaluation of each employee to determine performance based raises that fit within the organization's budget. Salary comparisons are done with other local organizations and cost-of-living increases follow the social security administration's rates, if allowable within b.e.a.r.'s budget.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“These documents are available upon request and included in grant applications when required.”
